So he's qualified to run for president in 2024 and doesn't have to disclose his taxes because audit? I think that's how IRS investigations work Grin


No, that's certainly not how "IRS investigations work", when you are (although certainly not admitting it) talking about the weaponized, targeting of conservatives during the Obama regime, which is the time of the audit in question.

So are you pro weaponizing the IRS to target people of certain political inclinations?

Never mind, don't bother trying to dodge the issue.

It'll start up soon enough again if Biden gets in.

I could not resist that reply. But I'm pretty sure I know the answer to the riddle; was the school dumb or was I dumb?

It's not a matter of being "dumb" so much as valuing education. Maybe your school was dumb, but in that case you should have graduated easily.

But did the Kraken have problems in high school?

Did they laugh at him too? He should have graduated easily.

Some breaking news out of today that I assume everyone has already seen: Hunter Biden, President-Elect Joe Bidens son, is under federal tax investigation relating to his international consulting / business dealings.

We're not really sure exactly how long this investigation has been ongoing, I've heard some reports that it's been open since 2018 but this is the first time the DOJ has said something to the Bidens'.

I'm not a legal expert, though I'm pretty sure that this case was probably open prior to the election. There was no leaks for this particular investigation, and I think if there was it would've been another attack avenue for the whole Hunter Biden corruption thing that the Trump campaign was trying to do.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/09/hunter-biden-under-federal-investigation-over-taxes.html

"Prior to the election" Yes, I've read that it was ongoing and certainly before 11-3.

Maybe it was six or twelve months earlier. But it was related to the cases where associates of his were convicted and he was not.

They're trying to maintain the dominance of Trump on the GOP and that's the only thing they're trying to do here.

Also convince people to give Trump money (that they think will help him win a second term but actually goes to pay off his debt).

Darn, I had not thought of that. I will send money!




I mean if you want to argue a point here then that's something. I'm really giving the Trump admin/campaign the benefit of the doubt when it comes to why they're doing all of this.

I don't think the admin thinks they'll be able to overturn the elections, and I don't think the intention of any of these lawsuits was to do that. They're trying to maintain the dominance of Trump on the GOP and that's the only thing they're trying to do here.

Can we agree on that? Or no?

No. You said they were "out of their minds," don't wimp out and try to find some reasonable middle ground. That's your point, no shifting the goalposts and trying to make it like you are some logical and reasonable thinker. You're trying to give them the "benefit of the doubt" when you call them "out of their minds?" You are making things up.

'Fraid I'm laughing at this.

Let's put like this. I'd love to tell you "you were out of your mind" and have you say "Yes, I was." I expect you to say, in this circumstance "blah blah BLAH."

I do not think you are honest enough to say "Yes, I was", but let's see what poker hand is delt next.

Cheers!

no. hospitals wont send patients a bill.
hospitals charge the government/insurance company.
insurance companies do allow for vaccines for free

Yeah that's not how it works in the US. Hospitals (if someone is unlucky enough to get the vaccine in a hospital) will definitely send massive bills for everything except perhaps the vaccine itself, so $10k - $10 = $9990 billed to the patient. Pharmacies that usually do vaccines for flu etc often subsidize those as loss leaders... not sure if that's going to work for COVID-19 though.

Insurance companies don't "allow" shit. If by some miracle they make it "free" it will be rolled into next year's premiums....

Some things Franky should really shut up on. This is why the US cannot succeed with socialized medicine, the established power structures would bleed people dry. It'd be 120% for them not for the people.

Regardless, what Trump said was the vaccine would be free, but when I saw the list of operations that would be dispensing it, like CVS and Walgreens, it's hard to believe that. Maybe if you present an insurance card, then it's 0 copay. Maybe. But a lot of people are never, every going to pay 35 or 50$ or any sum for this flu shot.

Two United States District Court judges blocked Trump campaign election challenges in Georgia and Michigan Monday, slamming them for their overreach and presumption. The dismissed Georgia case was the infamous “Kraken” lawsuit filed by Trump attorney Sidney Powell.

So that's it, the Kraken has been slain. And it didn't even take the head of Medusa to cast a gaze and turn it to stone. Just a couple frumpy judges reiterating what the intelligent masses have already known: Trump is out of his mind.


Little bit more then that.

Trump and his legal team is out of their mind...
THAT EXPLAINS IT!

Nice that you've made it so clear to us all.

It never would have occurred to me that they were all out of their mind.

Oh, wait, this is just more Trump hate and Trump ridicule.

is it a bigoted Idea to think that it is unfair allowing a trans woman to compete on women category of a sport?
No, I don't think so.
We would expect trans women to dominate women's sports if they are allowed to participate.
If the trans are proven to carry men's physical traits, they should compete in men's league, or better, create their own trans league.

Agreed, Whatever they are telling about equality or whatsoever. A man's body power is still for a man even though his/her genitals is already change unless he/she drinks a hormone pills and completely change his/her hormone fully for woman then that might be fair.

I'm not against LGBTQXYZ rights and what they are fighting for. But I believe there claims about there rights as an LGBT is sometimes too much. No offense to all rainbow army out there.


No, it wouldn't be fair if, as you suggest .. "unless he/she drinks a hormone pills and completely change his/her hormone fully for woman then that might be fair. "

It could never be "fair."

Trans is a ridiculously low percentage of humans, really zero there anyone should be concerned about BUT when 0.01% ruin a sport that's meant to be for 50%, you have the rights one very small group against the rights of a very large group.

It's an incredibly stupid issue to even be discussed.

YouTube Will Remove Videos Questioning Biden Election Victory Even as Legal Challenges Continue
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2020/12/09/youtube-will-remove-videos-questioning-biden-election-victory-even-as-legal-challenges-continue/

Misleading headline.  Here's what youtube said:

Quote
we will remove videos claiming that a Presidential candidate won the election due to widespread software glitches or counting errors. We will begin enforcing this policy today, and will ramp up in the weeks to come....As always, news coverage and commentary on these issues can remain on our site if there’s sufficient education, documentary, scientific or artistic context.

I am glad that you took the time to explain to us how Truly Enlightened YouTube is, and how they are looking out for our best interests but carefully watching what we can and cannot see.

31  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trans woman joins women football league on: December 09, 2020, 02:39:14 PM
This is insane. Why is this being allowed? Everybody knows that men and woman are biological different. Mixing the two genders is not fair for the real woman. Why not just make a league for trans woman? Imagine Ronaldo says one day he is a woman and starts playing fit a female soccer team. It's crazy

How about the economic side of it? How many people are going to watch women's sports transmuted into a glorious celebration of the dominance of men turned women?

Zero...

As for Michelle's master thesis.  Well, it is ok, but I must say, she has a quirky writing style.  Sometimes it is hard to follow what exactly she wanted to say.  But overall, it is understandable.  Bottom line from her thesis: "The more time Blacks spend with Whites, the less they identify themselves with Black communities they come from."  Basically, once Princeton educated Blacks start making big bucks, they do not give a flying puck about poor Blacks or Whites.

https://www.politico.com/pdf/080222_MOPrincetonThesis_76-981.pdf

Her sample size was very small so I am not sure how valuable that thesis is. 

You see my point, although you've couched it in a conciliatory way as far as the Obama issue, and in an aggressively defamatory way concerning the Melania one.






Oh... This explains so much!!!  Cheesy

The patriots, in other words, really are in charge. And they planned all this since 2018, putting in place the framework to trigger the appropriate national security resources once the Democrats took the bait and tried to steal the 2020 election.

GITMO must be getting close to full capacity at this point....

Finally, lock and load, patriots....

Well, I did predict on 11-4 a six month long, absolute total shitshow, but I think the current Texas case to SCOTUS may be the one case that matters. It will be decided by 1-20-2020.

It'd certainly be interesting if some of the corrupt officials started singing like canaries.

Melania did not even finish the gymnasium.  
She attended some easy trade school, then tried University, failed in the first year.

Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg all dropped out of college...


You cannot be serious comparing her to these tech leaders.

She is a dropout like ....

Me.

So what are you trying to get to, with "failed in the first year?" I assume it's just another disrespectful remark.

But for some others, "dropped out" is a good thing,a respectful thing?

I'm going to have some trouble figuring that out.

Regarding this...

Five foreign languages my ass.  Five adjectives like Donald, maybe.

But it's really just more disrespecting the First Lady, isn't it? At least she's not trying to force a salad diet on American public school students, like Michelle Obama did. By the way, have you red Michelles master's degree thesis? Might should before you talk about which First Lady's stupid. While you're at it, read Hitlary's dissertation. Check them out, why not.

CBO estimates that the government is losing a substantial chunk of change on student loans every year, see here:
....
Prior to the Affordable Care Act, a majority of student loans originated with a private lender but were guaranteed by the government, meaning taxpayers foot the bill if student borrowers default.

The main culprit is student loans, which the federal government effectively monopolized in a little-known provision of the Affordable Care Act, signed into law in 2010.

After Democrats spent four years harassing Trump and claiming his election was illegitimate, don't hold your breath. What comes around goes around. You've got 74 million against you, and they are not docile little sheeple that will get into line.

On top of those 74 million votes (would have been much more, if the opinion polls were honest), Democrats have to deal with a wafer-thin majority in the House (222-213), and a GOP majority in the senate. SCOTUS is having a conservative majority of 5-4, and GOP is on course to a House majority by 2022. Radical measures from Biden/Kamala may not get clearance from the Congress.

Those are not just numerical numbers. Because the "Republicans", or whatever you want to call the Trumpers, are really, really mad now.

Oh, don't worry, its already completely ruined. Probably has been since 2016, or even before. But they'll stay together in a loveless marriage for the sake of maintaining appearances, just like Bill and Hillary. Melania is probably just thinking, "Oh lord, any day now... just let a piece of cheeseburger finally occlude that artery, and freedom here I come!"
Also credit for being "sort of wrong."

That about covers the entire field.
